Mission

Within the scope of our vision, vision care service's mission is to: "restore sight for eye patients in remote areas in developing countries throughout the world through cataract surgery and ophthalmic treatment. "provide education regarding the prevention of eye disease and preventative health care for local residents. "develop partnerships with local governments, non-governmental organizations (ngo's), hospitals, and international organizations to encourage treatment and education to prevent blindness. "promote awareness of volunteer opportunities for the global prevention of blindness and participation by individuals and corporations.

Vision Care Service seeks to restore sight by treating one person at a time to share a vision of our beautiful world. From a greater, global perspective, VCS seeks to share THE Vision throughout the world by mobilizing volunteers and connecting governments, NGO's, local hospitals, corporations, and individuals for the common vision of treating and preventing avoidable blindness.

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
VCS has been providing free ophthalmology service in the LA area, due to the medical care cost in the United States is high and many undocumented immigrants, especially those of Korean, cannot get proper treatment due to lack of government's medical support. Normally, a single eye camp can provide eye checkups to about 100 people free of charge, and we provide free surgery service to around 10 cataract patients. Because we hold eye check-ups and surgeries annually free of charge, we are receiving a lot of complimentary responses for bringing the light of hope to the visually impaired patients.$0$17,252
